Mechanize#get vs Mechanize#fetch_page
So I found myself wanting to call Mechanize#get with a hash for
arguments like this:
WWW::Mechanize.new(''http://api.flickr.com/services/rest/'', {:method =>
''flickr.auth.getFrob''... })
Granted, it looks like this isn''t supported but it led me to what
looks like a bug. Namely that get calls fetch_page(abs_uri, request,
cur_page, &block)

settings headers in mechanize
hi,
a potential mechanize user here. i''ve looked at the API but it''s not
clear what capacity there is to arbitrarily set the headers - does
mechanize allow for this?
mechanize is clearly great for web browsing, but i also need to
construct get and post requests from scratch. i''ve looked at
net:http, libcurl, openuri, but mechanize seems simpler and more
functional than

Interesting mechanize difficulty
I found an interesting page today that I was trying to script
against. The server returns a 404 with content and the page just
works normally in firefox despite the 404. Mechanize raises an
exception on it though.
I''m working on a test case now.

Mechanize for multi-part form post
Hi,
I''m interested in using Mechanize as a way around manual multipart
form creation. But the API is really centered around the idea of a
form built from a page. I''d love to see a syntax like:
response = agent.post(''http://www.mydomain.com/upload'',
:image => File.new(file),
:title => "My image",
:description => "an image

some Mechanize objects never garbage collected?
Greetings,
I''m using Mechanize to scrap dozens of pages and have noticed the
size of my ruby process keeps growing. I set Mechanize.max_history to
0 with no effect on the memory use. I wrote a little test to show the
objects left on the heap after mechanizing a single page and then
doing a garbage collection. Sample list appended below. I can supply
the test code if it helps.

mechanize: 400 Bad Request
Hello,
when trying to access a certain HTML-frame, I get:
"in `request'': Unhandled response (WWW::Mechanize::ResponseCodeError)"
and the page returns: "400 Bad Request"
* Why?
* How to solve this?
With browser, it works.
In the logs below, I marked 4 lines with "***", where I see possible
differences in the URI. But I don''t know, if this is

WWW::Mechanize::Link.inspect needs some TLC
The problem: users trying to debug Mechanize apps with Komodo
are finding the debugger times out once it''s loaded a web
page. They don''t run into this in the ruby-debug debugger,
or running in normal mode.
The reason: Komodo''s debugger is graphical, which means that
whenever it hits a breakpoint it automatically shows the
contents of each local variable. It has a

Mechanize: save and cancel doesn''t work in JSPWiki
I''m trying to submit data in JSPWiki (edit page). I can read the data
in the form, but nothings get saved when I submit the page. Cancel
doesn''t work either. I don''t get any errors. There is no JavaScript
used to submit the form.
After I''m logged in I do the following:
def save(page, content)
@agent.get(@base_url + "Edit.jsp?page=#{page}")

form submit debugging
version 0.62
I''ve got a form that''s giving me trouble (server reports invalid session
ID). Unfortunately, the form is submitted using SSL so I can''t use a
sniffer to see the differences between the ruby mechanize version and
the perl mechanize version that is working. Is there a way to change the
form action within mechanize? Or a way to display the request headers?

Help accessing http headers?
Hi,
I''m using Mechanize, and I''ve developed a lot of code around it. I''d like
to be able to check the Etag header during a get to see if the page has
changed, as well as some other http header information. Can I do that
without hacking Mechanize myself?
Does anyone have any examples of how to do this?

problem with a form
Hello
I am trying to fill in a form using WWW::Mechanize. I can fill in 2 of
the 3 fields but one is giving me a problem. The name of this field is
"name" when I use the following bit of code, it seems to change the
name of the form, not the value of the field.
The part of original page after pretty printing

https with certificates
I poked around the web a little and didn''t run across how to use https
when it asks for certificate validation.
I''m trying to connect to devices that don''t have valid certificates,
and in this case, I don''t care if they are or not.
So when I use my browser to ge to the site, firefox asks me to allow
the certificate, then one other question, then I get the

Basic auth bug in 0.6.9
I haven''t spent the time to get a proper test case for this yet, but
there appears to be a bug in the basic_auth code for mechanize
0.6.9. I''ve attached a CSV (from Charles) that illustrates the problem.
Basically when running with basic_auth, there''s a failed request
that''s followed up by a successful request. That last POST is a

Basic_auth questions
How do you make get the page when using basic_auth? Below is code, I am
getting a 401 error. I am not sure if the basic _auth comes before the
agent.get. I will appreciate any help.

require ''logger''
agent = WWW::Mechanize.new {|a| a.log = Logger.new(STDERR) }
page = agent.get(''https://brewx.qualcomm.com/developer'' )

Problems with Forms
Hi,
I am using mechanize for a while now. Works great. But at the moment I
have a small problem using it.
The problematic file is attached. In that PHP-File you will see a
formular, but mechanize doesn''t recognize it.
Could somebody check this?
Thanks,
Bodo

[PATCH] Get requests with non-html referers
Hey, Aaron. Looks like that get with hash params patch you checked in
had some side effects. Specifically, you''re testing if a referer is a
Page (mechanize.rb:171), but the referer could also be a
WWW::Mechanize::File. Like if the last page loaded was xml. Here''s a
patch that addresses the issue.
Thanks again,
